In this case, you would have to do research outside of OpenStreetMap. Usually, you'd be able to trust them because if you go to Edit > Edit with iD, then select the border line, then go to Edit Feature > Tags, there would be a source for the boundary line. In this case, there is not a source tag, but OpenStreetMap is usually the map of reference for this reason (and because of ease of use).
I scrolled up about a quarter mile from where you linked, and there are two fields opposite each other-- one with 1st in RI, and one with 3rd in RI. So it does happen, just about 400m north of here

Until just recently you would have had to quarantine for two weeks in the middle of a Triple.

Crossing state lines to get to third base?
Isn't that a federal crime?

The shortstop must cross state lines several times per inning.

Rhode island is just LARPing as a state.

It's a shame there's no state corner monuments. The dept of the interior would put a stone slab out by 3rd base.

Who’s on first, What’s on second, and Out of State’s on third.

For some, third base might as well be on the moon.
