I think you're forgetting centripetal force in the low.
Have a look at this page - 7(n) Forces Acting to Create Wind

Coriolis effect simply makes stuff to deflect right in NH. The diagrams you are looking at are confusing, the coriolis force really acts in the same direction as the blue arrow in the first picture
