In baseball what is the difference between obstruction in interference?
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.
Do runners advance on catchers interference during a squeeze?
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.

However, the specific outcome may depend on the umpire's judgment and the game's individual circumstances.
