Honestly more of an Elongated Man yarn, but the Flash does show up near the end. When Ralph goes into the Yucatan to visit the tree that helps produce the soft drink that makes him stretchy, the Elongated Man falls victim to a shrinking ray. When the Flash arrives, he too is reduced to mere inches.
Despite their size, the two manage to destroy the aliens machine which turns them back to normal.
Not horrible, but the previous yarn was Gorilla Grodd turning the Flash morbidly obese, so I suppose anything would be a let down.
