Hi Sarah,
I'm going to assume you have kept them watered. Sudden wilt sounds like a fungal issue.

I would definitely not plant anything in the solanum family in the high tunnel next year.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help. Wilt really does happen overnight. It's been a very wet summer and we are seeing SO many fungal issues.
