Is there any point in trying to save them? And if so, how? Pile up dirt around their bases for support? Tie them to sticks? There aren't that many, so it won't kill me to give up on them and plant something else instead. Just don't want to throw in the towel too soon.

my corn was flattened very early in the year by high winds and heavy rain, and we just did what you said, piled dirt up around the bases to get them to stand up again and they did fine. i'd look at the base of the plants to see if they're actually broken or just bent, if it's just bent it'll probably do just fine if you straighten it. if the stalks are broken i'd guess it would be pointless to try to save it.
