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.
In baseball, obstruction occurs when a fielder impedes a baserunner's progress without the ball, typically involving a defensive player blocking the base path. Interference, on the other hand, involves a player (usually a baserunner) disrupting a fielder's chance to make a play, such as by physically contacting them or failing to avoid a play. Both result in penalties, but they apply to different scenarios and players. Essentially, obstruction is about fielders impeding runners, while interference is about runners obstructing fielders.
In a squeeze play, if there is catcher's interference, the runners are typically awarded the bases they occupy at the time of the pitch. This means that if the catcher interferes with the batter while trying to execute the squeeze, the batter is awarded first base, and the runners can advance, depending on the situation. However, the specific outcome may depend on the umpire's judgment and the game's individual circumstances.
Only if it is ruled interference by the umpire -- dead ball and runner is out, no other runners advance.... if no interference is called, this is a live ball

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.
Yes the ball is dead, and no the runners cannot advance.
No, runners cannot advance on a play involving the infield fly rule.
If a first baseman has one foot in bound and one foot out of bound that is known as a fielders balk..runners can advance one base if this occurs and called on
Runners can attempt to advance on a fly out, provided that they tag up (touch the bade they are currently on after the ball is caught).
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.
