In most cases, fielder's interference is a delayed dead ball foul, which means that play proceeds. When all play has stopped, the umpire will award any penalties as necessary, sometimes with choices given to the offended team.

What does SH in baseball mean?
SH in Baseball stands for "Sacrifice Hit" - also known as a Sacrifice Bunt. It is when a batter comes up with a runner or two on base and less than two outs, and intentionally bunts the ball in a way that the fielders have to get him out- which allows the other runners to move up a base or even score. The batter "sacrifices" himself to allow the other runners to advance.

What is the umpire interference rule in high school baseball?
There are two types of umpire interference: when the umpire hinders the catcher's attempt to throw the ball and when an umpire is struck by a fair batted ball before it touches or passes an infielder, other than the pitcher. In the case of interference on a catcher's throw; if the throw retires the runner, the play stands, if not, the ball is dead and all runners return to their bases. In the case of interference on an infielder, the batter-runner is awarded first base and all other runners advance only if forced to do so.

When akicked ball hiys the ground is it dead?
No. There is no rule against fielders using any part of their bodies to field a ball, including a kick. If a fielder wanted to kick a slow roller to the first baseman in order to make a force-out, that would be perfectly permissible. If a fielder accidentally knocks a ball out of play, the ball is dead and all runners advance two bases. If a base-runner kicks a ball, he is out for interference, the ball is immediately dead (ie, no need to wait till it hits the ground), and all runners must return to their previous base.
Does runner have to tag after the catch or upon first contact of the ball?
U have to wait until the ball is caught to "tag up". That is incorrect. Runners trying to advance on a fly ball may "tag up" and advance when the fielder first touches the ball. If that were no so, fielders could intentionally juggle the ball and attempt to pick the runner off who ran too early.

If you are referring to runners already on base, then that runner is considered out because of interference with the ball that was in play.Clarification:Above answer refers to a batted ball that was not touched by a defensive player first. In a situation where a thrown ball or a deflected ball gets stuck in a offensive player's (runner's) jersey then it is a dead ball. The runners will get to advance to the base they are going to and then the play is over
