Wilt, frostbite or sunburn?

I'm a newbie at tomatoes and bought this Amish paste at a reputable local growers. The past week here in Oklahoma we've had from a hot sunny day to a hard freeze in a matter of hours. I covered the plant, but its lower leaves are nearly dead and the middle ones are yellowing and getting crispy. The top portion of the leaves (which I double covered with a milk jug and a cover during the freeze) are still green and healthy.

I'm not sure if this is from the harsh sun, the freezing temps, or from a type of wilt. I've read for wilt to destroy the whole plant, which I'm hoping I don't have to do because there's four baby tomatoes on it!
