Here are a few pics of a disease I had last year, these pics all come from the same plant.

The wilting foliage looks like Bacterial Wilt usually spread by Cucumber Beetles.
The fruit blotching could be fusarium, alternaria or even Gummy Stem Blight.

Were all of the images from the same plant? If so GSB could have been the entire cause. Did you see any brownish fluid oozing from the stems?

All three pics were from the same plant and fruit from that same plant. The early set fruit didn't have the problem of the later sets, like the later set fruit pictured. The fruits were all clean inside, no rot or fluid even in the late sets. The vines also rotted in some spots above ground. One stem also rotted some but there wasn't any fluid that I recall.
