I would have had my first ever "close to perfect as I can get" cluster of toms, but something got to them I think. Are they worm holes?

They poke a hole in the tomato and suck out a little juice, then move on to another and another and another.........lol, just noticed you were from Delaware also.
Good luck
"Last summer, there was a major infestation of the brown, three-quarter-inch bugs in homes throughout the mid-Atlantic, the worst reports coming from West Virginia, Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
In this area, people are literally finding thousands in their homes," reports Tracy Leskey, a research entomologist with the USDA in Kearneysville, W.Va.
They're just a stinky nuisance for many, but the bugs can be devastating to farmers.
They feed on a wide range of important food crops," Hoelmer says. Crops such as sweet corn, apples, pears, grapes, berries, peaches, tomatoes and peppers appear to be the most vulnerable."
This is a very serious problem
