The ground in the pot seems to be moist, but plant is wilting to the point that it looks like it needs water; but as stated the dirt seems pretty moist. What could be the problem? I gave it a little water two days ago.

Sometimes plants wilt in hot sun even though they have been watered. Don't give it a "little" water, always water thoroughly..."till it pees". If you've just been keeping the top of the soil moist, the lower half of the soil ball could be very dry. I would suggest soaking the entire pot in a container of water overnight then drain the next morning.
Thank you "quietnh", I am from Nebraska not NH but I think your reasoning applies, as it has been pretty wet here also. I have trimmed a lot of spongy stuff off and now will just wait a few days to see if letting it dry out will help.
Tomatoes aren't doing well in New Hampshire right now because of too much rain; tomatoes don't like too much water. Try letting the soil get a little dryer. Also cut off any leaves or stems that are yellow; some of the stems may be spongy, also cut them off. Hope this helps.
