A 2007 graduate, Tabitha (Foster) Keating is just the second Bobcat to ever be named as an NAIA First Team All-American. In addition, she was a National Fast Pitch Coach Association First Team selection, the Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference (MCAC) Player of the Year, the NAIA Region IV Player of the Year, and was the Omaha World-Herald NAIA All-Nebraska Team Captain.
It was not just because Keating was successful at the plate, but she was an outstanding pitcher as well. At the end of the 2007 campaign, she was ranked in six different NAIA individual rankings: first in home runs – an NAIA record at that time, second in saves, third in runs batted in per game, seventh in total bases per game, eighth in slugging percentage, and 20th in total wins.
Presently, Keating is still on top of several Peru State single-season records. Her top single-season marks are hits – 76, home runs – 29, and runs batted in – 86. In addition, she is in three other top ten single-season categories.
Career-wise, Keating holds the top career mark with 36 home runs. She is also listed in four other career hitting categories.
