Hypergammon 8pt vs 1pt puzzle --

On further examination, there are more ways to solve in eleven rolls than I realized.

Ten -- really? I don't see how Blue, even going second, can bear off a checker and still make his 8pt in five turns (i.e., his half of the ten rolls). It takes him three turns to bear (all checkers in and) one off, then he has two on the bar and cannot make his 8pt in the remaining two turns. If I'm missing something, please confirm without a hint as I'd like to solve.
