I have strong doubts about this being LB.
I am astonished that the county extension could diagnose LB over the phone without seeing the plant or at least a pic.

He couldn't over the phone unless there has been an outbreak in that area and he has seen a lot of it lately. Gray Mold and LB look very similar in many ways often being mistaken for each other. If it is Gray Mold then the plants not wrapped up with it can recover if treated early enough unless it stays rainy and then it can be kind of hard to stop.
