Chief Wilson picked off?

Can someone explain this result, Wilson's stealing rating is:
*4-6/- (17-12) yet he gets picked off in the 5th.

Nothing in Wilson's stealing rating prevents him from getting picked off when he attempts to get a good lead. Apparently, there's a 1 of 20 chance he may be picked off (according to B below). The single dice was rolled again and the result was greater than 17.


-------------------
(From Stratomatic rules...)

When rolling for a lead, also roll the 20-sided die along with the two colored dice.

A. If the 20-sided die roll is 3-20, discard the 20-sided die and continue normally with the Supplementary Stealing System. (If a steal is attempted, you will need to roll the 20-sided die again.)
B. If the 20-sided roll is 1, the runner attempting the lead may be picked off. Refer to the runner's second steal success rating (in parentheses) and roll the 20-sided again. If the number rolled is less than or equal to the runner's rating, the runner dives back safely, but has failed to achieve his good lead.
If the number rolled is higher than the runner's rating, the runner has been picked off (statistically, this does not count as a time caught stealing).
C. If the 20-sided roll is 2, there is a possible balk. Refer to the pitcher's balk rating (at the top of the Advanced side of his card) and roll the 20-sided die again. If the number rolled is less than or equal to the balk rating, a balk has occurred and all baserunners advance one base. If the number rolled is higher than the balk rating, the runner dives back safely, but the runner has failed to achieve his good lead.

Wilson was not an Indian. his nickname was was "Tex" when he reached the Pirates "Chief" was given to him by Pirate manager Fred Clarke.who thought because he was 6+ tall and from Texas he looked like a Chief of the Texas Rangers whatever that means? but it stuck. he was a Rancher and grew up on one outside of Austin. in fact, after baseball he went back to the family ranch and died where he was born. no mention of wife, kids, etc.
