Mysterious melon/cucumber?

This is growing rampant in my garden alongside my cucumbers....it has star-shaped yellow flowers like cucumber plants do, but it also has tiny green mini watermelon-looking fruit growing from it. It also grows along the ground as cucumbers do, but the vines are fuzzy, almost prickly. I tried to plant cantaloupe (or what I thought were cantaloupe seeds!) in the area where this is growing.

I'm stumped.....

Thanks!
