USSSA has no exception for a throw pulling the fielder onto the orange portion of the base. On the initial force out attempt of a batter runner, the defense must use the white portion of the base, unless the throw is coming from foul territory.
USSSA rule book. Rule 8.19.B
Exceptions:
The defense and batter runner can use either portion when:
1. The ball is thrown from the foul side of first base line.
2. An errant or missed throw pulls the defensive player into foul
ground.
