Yep, my Tomatoes never had a chance this year either. This was due to me not getting an earlier start to let them mature and develop a good root system before the big heat wave hit.

We had poor luck too. I also got my tomatoes out a little late.

Even though Hubby got his out on time, we had a cool spring with too much rain. Then the big heat wave, and attack from beetles.

We just now have a batch of decent tomatoes, so if Indian Summer continues, we may salvage the effort somewhat. Mine are in a 2 x 4 raised bed, with pvc pipe forming a dome and covered by row cover. Hoping to extend the results past Indian summer.
