That could be stem rot on your tomato, which is an environmental problem. You say it wasn't overwatered, so perhaps the drainage is poor. Do you have mulch right up against the stem? If so, move it back 3 or 4 inches. When you water, instead of watering at the stem, water back several inches from the stem where the roots are in young plants.

Here are tips for growing grapefruit. See if you are following the recommended care, i.e., proper water, fertilization and temperature.
